TPR72 - 72KW TurboProp / TA65 - 65KW TurboAlternator
3 Years ago, we identified a market need for a heavy fuel, turboprop engine for unmanned vehicles. Redline, in collaboration with Aantfarm, has developed a recuperated 72KW turboprop suitable for drone applications. A 65KW turboalternator version is currently under development. The turboalternator is suitable for airborne and ground-based applications.
Portable Gas Turbine for Land-Based Army Application
The Redline Engineering Team (then with AZMARK) was contracted by a major DoD systems integrator to develop a hand-carrying generator-equipped gas turbine for the Army. A complete system was produced by the Redline Team and integrator in 4 months, meeting program goals.
Turbo Fuel Pump for the DARPA/office of Naval Research HyFly Hypersonic Missile
Based on the performance in the NAWC FastHawk program, the Redline design team was contracted by Boeing St. Louis to design and develop the turbo fuel pump for the DARPA/Office of Naval Research HyFly hypersonic missile program. The turbopump met all program goals.
Ultra-Micro Gas- Turbine Driven Alternator
In 1993, the team (as M-DOT Aerospace) was contracted by DARPA to design and develop the world's smallest gas turbine engine. Intended initially as a turbojet for small missiles, the engine was eventually developed into a turboalternator with a gas turbine at one end of the shaft and a permanent magnet generator on the other. This engine features the world's smallest heavy-fuel annular burner.
Redline 5 kW Quiet Generator Set
In 2013, the team designed and fabricated a commercial 5 kW lightweight gas turbine generator set for remote construction work. The complete unit in the photo with the fuel tank weighs 72 lbs.
Supercritical CO2 Pump for Semiconductor Wafer Cleaning System
In 2001, the team developed and entered into initial rate production of a high-speed supercritical CO2 pump. The pump was capable of operation with a 3500 psi pressure delta across the housing.
Design/Manufacture/Test/Analysis
Redline does not solicit make-to-print work. Redline uses SolidWorks for all solid modeling and FEA. We also conduct Rotordynamic analysis using XLRotor and cycle analysis using GCAT and NPSS. Please keep us in mind as a supplier of fully engineered systems. We take pride in our ability to produce just about anything, from a compound-formed annular burner in .25mm thick Haynes 230 to a complete twin-spool turboprop engine and propeller. We have 5-axis CNC capability, as well as CNC turning, conventional machining, sheet metal forming, welding, vacuum potting, grinding, and assembly.
Let Redline take your concept from "lunch napkin" to full-rate production.
